Tator and Jack are small young bonded boars who still need some socialization toward humans. That means they need one of those special, patient adopters. They are very cute guys. Tator is the torti colored one, and Jack is the black and white one. Please see the below note about Tator, modified from a lesson about a guinea pig on the other blog.
GUINEA PIG LESSON (borrowed from AAGP2): Satch (Tator in this instance) has a very beautiful element to his fur called roaning. One of many reasons why I'm against br33ding (and why this blog does not support br33ding), is because if a roan pig is br3d with with a roan pig (or if a dal pig, another br33d, is br3d with a dal pig), there is a one in four chance a lethal pig will be born. Lethal pigs are very, very special needs, if they live more than a few days. Please don't ever br33d your pigs, as there is a high chance of fatality for the mother. But if you have a pig with white fur and some black spots (a dal pig), or black markings such as Satch, please, please don't br33d them. Your pig may create a blind, deaf pig with no teeth who relies on you for care. And with so many hundreds of homeless pigs, why br33d in the first place?GUINEA PIG LESSON FOR ME! Thank you to a friend of mine on GuineaLynx who pointed out a very significant error in the above lesson. Roaning is not just black mixed through with white, but any color mixed through with white in a similar pattern to Satch's. Thank you GL friend! GL is a place where you continually learn more and more about GPigs. I encourage anyone who has guinea pigs, or is considering getting guinea pigs, to join.
Many sad accidents or "accidents" can be avoided this way. *
